Hi Guys,
I have a problem with my Moto G 8gb that was originally on Tesco mobile. I unlocked the phone using an ebay code when I received it and have been using it as a backup with my Vodafone sim, however I recently put my Orange work sim into it and the phone appears to have been relocked to the Tesco network. My Voda sim no longer works and neither do my GG or Orange sims, the only one that works is the original Tesco sim. The problem is, the phone is not prompting me for the network unlock code when rebooted.
Previously I was running C-Rom but have reverted to stock (4.3 from original backup) to no avail. Any help would be gratefully appreciated since I can't find a valid reason as to why it won't prompt me to enter the network code again.
Thanks

My sister presented me this galaxy s6 phone from malaysia. I am from India when i inserted india sim card. I got the message network locked sim card inserted. I came to know from the internet all samsung phones are network locked, for that I have to make incomming or outgoing call for 5 mins. I inserted malaysia sim and (from india) made 3mins of call to malaysia and 2+ mins of call to my mobile in india. Inspite of this my mobile is not unlocked it is still locked. Please help me.
If i flash stock firmware from india will my s6 be automatically unlocked ??, without any side effects.
In internet I saw there are many sites which says they can provide unlock code but their charge is very high almost 50 USD. I have already spent almost 100RM for roaming calls. Please help in unlocking my phone.
Inserting the malaysia sim card will not work as the call has to be made through the network of the region the phone was bought. Using the malaysian sim in india is not enough as the call is still going through the indian phone network.
I already made a 3 mins call to Malaysia . Will it unlock if I ask to someone from Malaysia to make another 2 mins of call to me.
Only way to unlock a network locked S6 is to get the unlock code from your network or buy it online from reputable unlockers. Flashing ROMs will no remove the lock.
Suggest some reputable unlockers

The problem you may have here is unlocking services unlock the phone from a specific carrier. The region lock is not the same as the carrier lock that these companies provide a service for. A quick look on google brings up no results for region unlocking. At the minute your only course of action is take the phone to a samsung repair centre and hope they will remove the region lock for you.
I took my phone to local mobile service center and he unlocked my phone (dont know how he did) and my phone is now rooted. Now my question is, is the unclock permanent and can i flash stock firmware safely without getting locked again.
Please confirm

Sim Unlock is needed once in a lifetime and it`s irreversible. Anyway I don't understand why was needed to root your phone for sim unlock. Normally you can reset, flash anything now and your phone will be sim unlocked.
What do you mean by reset ? we cannot remove the lock by flashing a new ROM.
why dose it come up restart phone when i swich sim cards on my unlocked galaxy s6 eage and dose this lose all othe data and save picuters and contects
Please i do also have S6 brought from USA to Ghana and when i tried put on a sim, it said Network locked sim. please what should i do?
Hello,
I have a Japanese S8+ (SC03J) that was sim-unlocked a bit more than a year ago. I used it on stock firmware, then rooted it, and kept using it.
I was going to update it to 8.0 through this custom firmware :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...g9550-g9500-phoenixo9-crf2-everytime-t3819774
After successfuly flashing it, when I put my sim card back, he automatically asks me for a network unlock code, thing I never been asked before.
I came back to stock firmware but it is still not reconizing my SIM card, and asking me for an un lock network code.
The SIM works completely fine on my other japanese phone.
Is it something that happened to someone else ? Any idea on how to fix it ?
I do not think it is a hardware problem as I didn't do anything unusual.
Any ideas welcome !!
Thanks!
Hi,
I have a Samsung S8+ which I bought unlocked to any network, I have used it on EE and Vodafone. I had rooted the phone, flashed different roms etc no problem. After I got my new phone, I tried to get the sim out of the S8+ and the tray was stuck, left with no choice I forced it out but this broke the sim card reader as it wouldn't read any SD or Sim.
I flashed a stock 9.0 pie UK version (Unlocked) to the phone through Odin and got the sim card tray replaced, now it reads SD cards and my sim but it says network locked and is asking for the NUC code, the phone was unlocked before and now it isnt. I've contacted Vodafone for a NUC code but the code isn't working (says incorrect code), I've tried flashing stock 8.0 too, also not working and still asking for the NUC. Strangely, it isn't working on either EE or Vodafone Sims now.
Could the sim card tray being replaced effect this? Is it the software flashed through Odin?
Any help will be appriciated please.
Thanks
Sam
Is it possible not only the SIM tray but the whole motherboard was replaced? It would make perfect sense then. Check whether your IMEI and S/N match what was on the box the phone came in.

If he sent it to samsung it may not be. I got 2 replacements from samsung identical IMEI as my orig. And they messed one up and sent back my original as well. Once so i had and technicly still have as i sold to my neighbor legit s8s cloned same imei from samsung direct
Thanks for the replies. Same IMEI which is strange, I've tried all UK sims and it's still locked. It says sim locked enter unlock code now but on every sim

It is strange normally sim unlocks are not undone by odin flashing. Sim unlocks lie in a non flashed partition
So Ive yesterday I bought a Galaxy A11 and when I tried to put my SIM inside it , it said that it was region locked and that I needed a code to unlock it or call 5 minutes on an original region sim card which is pretty much impossible since its in asia according to the box. Is there any way I can get a code or bypass this restriction to get my SIM card working in this phone? Thanks
